Latest news buzz is the rumor that microsoft is not going to 'fix' vista - they are moving on already to an early release of "seven".

Yep, I heard 2010 release of Windows 7, coming from the mouth of Gates (BeazulBubba-a redneck devil) himself.


So it's "Hasta La Vista Baby" so to speak.

Oh well, ain't that America.....

OK, so looking at the Layla 3G unit from Echo Audio, with WaveRT supported drivers, anyone using Vista with one of these, any problems?

Wow, thank you so very much for the info, everyone!

Just to update you, I tried recording in 16bit with 48000, and everything seemed to be recording well as I was monitoring through the Live button, but when I tried to play the file back, I got an error message saying that the file "did not exist," and upon pressing "OK" I was confronted wtih the blue screen of death. This seemed to me like it may be a driver problem, so I tried reinstalling the drivers (from the tascam website), but n-track gave me the "error initializing ASIO driver" message when I opened the program.

I had to walk away in frustration at that point (my "saturation point" for troubleshooting seems to be coming on quicker and quicker), but I'll definitely mess around with things a little more when I have the patience.

And I'm looking forward with high hopes in giving your latest idea a shot, yaz + jerm, and I appreciate your enlightening comments, phoo (I hadn't thought about that possibility). Hopefully all this will workout. I'll let you know how everything goes! And keep the ideas coming in the meantime! If anyone has any ideas on the selection and muting issues in addition to the ASIO woes, please discuss this as well.

Thanks again, all!

My suggestion is the same as it always was, and hopefully you will try it.

(use the ASIO4ALL driver)

that means can that tascam driver and install the FREE Asio4all driver.
and maybe just maybe your frustration will come to and end with recording bliss.

Oh and stay away from the Live button, you should not need that to monitor there are various other methods and means to do so.....

IMHO, LIVE should only be used once a system has been tested and is running proficiently and all the bugs worked out, and even then I don't recommend it, unless you like those blue screens...their so pretty, they remind me of a summer sky in Alaska without the occasional passing cloud.....

ASIO4ALL..............google it!

The asio4all did not work for my tascam - the tascam drivers are tascam specific for it’s operation.

Last I saw asio4all for vista was beta - did they finally issue some that are not beta?

Ugh... just UGH... you miss the point completely Jerm...

I'm sayin'... NOBODY should have to jump through all these hoops, crippling your hardware JUST to get n-Track to WORK. It needs to be FIXED. Hopefully, Flavio WILL fix it. I run XXXXXX on several interfaces and I don't have to resort to ASIO4ALL. n-Track should be as robust. Putting up with work-arounds is not the answer. If you have problems, I'm sure he would like to hear about them.

PS Don't make me post a definition of "problem"...

Couldn’t stand it…

Quote:

A PROBLEM is an obstacle which makes it difficult to achieve a desired goal, objective or purpose. It refers to a situation, condition, or issue that is yet unresolved. In a broad sense, a problem exists when an individual becomes aware of a significant difference between what actually is and what is desired.

NOW… I’m off to bed. You fellers have a good 'un…

[system]

A problem is simply a request for a satisfiable outcome to a situation.

[system]

There’s no such thing as a problem, you simply need to view it as an unsolved opportunity!

Poppa the asio4all is final released, 2.8 I think is the version. It simply runs off the WDM driver.

I admire your optimism Yaz.

As the Father of Cynicism as well being a really, really old grumpy Greek guy though, I gotta stand my ground. You don’t want them to take my Grumpy Old Greek Philosopher Club Lifetime Membership card away do you? Using my card I save no money as the gas pump. See how valuable it is?

I did?

I didn't jump through any hoops, or cripple anything, I used the recommended most stable build plugged my device in and started recording. (in XP)
I did have to make a slight, very slight adjustment to buffering for playback to work with large amounts of tracks and no cut outs though.....

Hopefully, Flavio WILL fix it. I run XXXXXX on several interfaces and I don't have to resort to ASIO4ALL.
Neither have I, (used ASIO4ALL) on this system, but I have heard good things about it. which I why thought it would be worth a try for this feller.
I have used it in the past on a 98SE machine and it worked, but my device (M-audio firewire) does prefer its own drivers which work fine in XP.

n-Track should be as robust. Putting up with work-arounds is not the answer.
I agree, although ,any systems are different and I do not think every software is able to be tested on every system.
Before I bought the one I have now I did much research into chipsets since especially with the Dells there was a lot of error reports with audio problems Gateways came in a close second....regardless of the program or hardware being used, either the hardware had a problem being recognized by the computer, or the software had problems functioning with the boards, you name it they got it.
Many people are simply trying to use machines that were not designed for audio and/or are poorly equip to handle various hardware devices and softwares dealing with audio.


If you have problems, I'm sure he would like to hear about them.
I have not had any, (other than the playback pops which was easily solved and had more to do with the external soundcard/converter than software cause it happened in Audigy too)
Do I think there are bugs? Sure there are, there are bugs in operating systems, but yet we use them and they work for the most part.
Since there are so many computers I am not sure how Flav could know of these things unless he owned every kind of computer there is, and every operating system on EACH computer as well.....

Most of the error reports I have read of lately have been on Vista. I don't know how a software engineer can anticipate future problems for OS that are not even out yet...unless Microsoft gives them copies of it in advance, and I have a feeling Flav is not rubbing elbows with Bill any time soon.
A few years back this board was flooded with bugs related to XP....and I presume in a year or two there will be a repeat of this event with the NEW OS about to come out......

And boards all over the place are flooded with Vista reports....but I don't see how that is the software writers fault.....
The program does what it is supposed to do for the price IMHO, it is an entry level program for people with entry level equipment which it works on for the most part. (PC and soundblaster cards)
If people want to invest in better equipment that requires more out of a PC and out of software they may have to consider also investing in a software that cost more and has been designed with TEAMS of designers on multi million dollar accounts for fortune five hundred companies with a budget and access to OS before they come out, and a hefty price tag for the package at the store.

If I do have any problems I will let Flav and y'all know ASAP.

The way the other posts read I thought you were running it with the M-Audio and resorting to 16/48 to get clean playback? If not, GREAT!

I recommend people try ASIO4ALL if they are stuck with onboard sound or a crappy interface with no native ASIO driver too. I hate recommending a work-around though. The thing is IT is absolutely a work-around kludge if you have PROVEN OVER AND OVER that your soundcards native drivers work great in ALL your softwares except one. See what I mean? I have been wanking about this for almost two years now. I do understand a certain affinity people develop toward things. I just want to see n-Track fixed.

Maybe a two year wank fest is long enough? I'll just shut up and wait to see what V6 brings to the table and hope for the best.

Pace a tutti voi!

Sì. Sembra non posso comunicare con Jerm in inglese!

Ho pensato che avrebbe tentato italiano!

LOL... yeah. We'll start the "Stop, drop and roll" drills shortly...

PS No offense intended. I have been to my fair share of church services where the people falling about on the floor were all about the "Hey look at me!" mode. Believe me... you see ol' D flopping around in the floor at church it is either from Divine influence or somebody stuck a lit match in my shoe...

Comin’ from you buddy that’s high praise - I’m a humble nut.

You guys remind me of the “Italian for Italians” Monty Python’s Flying Circus skit (season 1, if memory serves) - “My friend says ‘Why should I say I am Italian from Napoli when he is Italian from Milano?’” I can’t join you, my undergrad work was in espanol (I also haven’t figured out accented characters on this forum page, either).

I don’t about Poppa W… but I don’t know English that well! I’m a Southern American boy. We have a rep down here of butchering the English language. Other languages? Thank God for Google Translate!
